We went to the K1 interview in Guangzhou, China February 23, 2017...my fiancee was given a letter at the end of the interview which said:"Congratulations!...your K1 visa has been approved.  It will be mailed to you at the Citic Bank branch that you designated along with your immigration package that should only be opened by USCIS upon your entry to the US..."...Wow...we were stoked!...then 3 days later we received an email saying that per section 221g of the Immigration and Nationality act that we would not be getting the K1 visa pending receipt of more documents pertaining to my divorce settlement, credit report copy, etc...we were bummed...and had already booked airfare to the US based on the "Congratulations" letter...so I rounded up the documents that they wanted...all was good information, no debt, no alimony, etc.   10 days later, we received another email asking for even more documents...they now wanted my 2016 tax return (which isn't required to be filed until April 15, 2017) which I had to have my accountant prepare for me and email to me...they also wanted another form i-134 Affidavit of Support, signed original.  I had already given them one at the time of my fiancee's interview....NOW we received a third email from the Consulate wanting a "certificate of aliases" and a new Police Certificate reflecting all aliases...!?!  I wrote them back and explained that my fiancee has never had any alias and the Chinese police will not issue any statement that she has never had any alias (how would they know anyway?!)  So we are now waiting again, a month past our interview with no idea when they will finally issue our K1...anyone have any thoughts, advice, similar experiences?  We feel that the Guangzhou consulate is being wholly unreasonable and are asking for things that cannot be provided...we will fight until we prevail...even if it leads to Appeals and even Court...we will not be denied!

Holy what in the f***? What a nightmare! Sorry to hear about your situation. At this point, I guess you can only provide what they asked for and wait. It's well within their rights to request for extra documents after a visa interview. 

For my I-129F, K-1, AOS, EAD, AP and ROC detailed timelines, please refer to my timeline page :)

ROC filed on December 1, 2020, assigned to SRC, approved within 106 days on February 18, 2021.

My sincerest gratitude to all VJers, especially the late geowrian.
